I went into the city centre to run some errands, and thought I'd walk up to the cathedral and see it decked out for Christmas.

The large nativity set. |

How have I never noticed this before? Part of a 13th C. shrine base for St Mungo, possibly housed behind the high alter. |

Also, this was inside the Blacadar Aisle, which I'd never gone inside before.
WHY NOT? |

Looking up from the Blacadar aisle into the rest of the cathedral. |
Then I trotted across the street to go visit the Provand's Lordship. I was trying (unsuccessfully) to get a picture of myself in the doorway, all of which are very low.

Sitting in the window-seat. The St Mungo Museum can be glimpsed on the other side of the road.

And then, before going home, I took a peek at George Square, bedecked with thousands of lights!
Cathedrals are just the best!! And thanks for the festive pictures of George Square!
